redsilversnake Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 90% sure you cannot BS while in blockstun. You definitely can't mash while blocking, because 4S+HS will not get you BS. It was confirmed relatively early on that BS cannot be used while in blockstun. one other thing to mention: considering sin and elphelt look to be 100% complete (sans tweaking), that means that other characters are probably in development with the time remaining before launch if arcsys has a good content pipeline. we could see launch day dlc characters (groan all you want) with the amount of time they have to make new models, implement, tweak etc. because its likely that the people who made the models have nothing to do right now otherwise. this is even more likely considering that they'll probably have to submit in about a month and a half, and should be using that art time for -something-. i can't imagine they need the art team to make the story mode atthis point. Ishiwatari has mentioned before that the way they go about making the models and animations is time-consuming, and their budget isn't that big. As far as I know, there also still hasn't been any word on whether or not they've hired more people to work on them, so we currently don't even know for sure how many people they have working on the characters. It's entirely possible that they have some concept work for more characters, and may indeed finish one to release as DLC by the time the game is released, but keep in mind that the people who animate the models are obviously also the ones working on the animations for story scenes, and animating 3D models isn't exactly a short process to begin with, so I can't imagine that they've had much time to work on new playable characters aside from Sin and Elphelt.
Henaki Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 the reason i say that is they should be content ready by now and fixing errors. the people doing key animation would need some work to do. i assume they outsource some of the animation as well
SQNR Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Elphelt is our day 1 DLC (pre-order/first print to get her for free, otherwise you'll have to cough up that cash). I've been a bit out of the loop, have they confirmed that she is dlc? I sure hope she isn't. Presenting a fully working character intended to be sold as dlc this far from the release would just be tragic.
Rhannmah Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Look, Sin, sign your name here! Marriage isn't the end of one's life, It is the departure train for the true love! We will from then discover many new scenery together. To start with we will hold hands while walking, and we will be told that we look good together by old lady in the neighborhood... Bafuu! Exciting Man, that girl's a keeper. I wonder what she says to female opponents. Regarding her gameplay though, she looks top notch, I don't think there's ever been a character like her in the history of fighting games. Well done Arc Sys!
NesmerII Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Would you guys rather see Xrd go the way of SSF4, with periodic "expansions" that come with 1 or 2 new characters and new stages/music (in a more timely manner), or instead go the traditional Xrd > Xrd#Reload > Xrd/Slash. Something tells me the former would help "cement" Xrd in the FGC, as people would know it as GG: Xrd or just Xrd and not some "subtitle of the month" that divides up the player base (if this was even a problem). Personally, I'm on the fence, but in the end I just want ArcSys to do whatever allows them to pump out new characters as fast a possible. Large (and DIVERSE) fighting game rosters make me a particularly special kind of happy Also, with regards to Elphelt, I had myself a good chuckle when I realized her "intro" reminds me of a T-800 getting pushed/released off the assembly line. The Guns N' Roses hits just keep on rollin'. And while I initially put of by her saccharine appearance, her mannerisms and emotes are fucking precious.
CCVengeance Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Whichever way gets Jotaro Zappa out the quickest.
Mumm-Ra Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nothing "dirty" really. The nosebleed don't always have to do with perverted thoughts, but more towards getting too "excited". Rough translation in the collapse. [collapse]Look, Sin, sign your name here! Marriage isn't the end of one's life, It is the departure train for the true love!

Exciting[/collapse] What a cutie, will make her my main while waiting for ABA I guess. Grenade YRC>roll oki sounds cool, also grenade YRC>command throw during shotgun mode, this character looks really interesting. Hopefully she has good damage, not a big fan of not doing any.
greatfernman Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 you may not even need to YRC the grenade toss. it looks like the recovery on the throw is short enough and the timer on the explosion is variable enough that you could use the grenade for oki without YRCing it to me. Though I suppose it depends on the startup on switching stance to shotgun, though that looks decently fast as well. and depending on when the invul is during the roll perhaps there will be DP safe setups too. that may be hoping for a bit much though i guess.
stickystaines Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 i wonder if they cant be hit by the explosion if El gets hit.
Aze Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Would you guys rather see Xrd go the way of SSF4, with periodic "expansions" that come with 1 or 2 new characters and new stages/music (in a more timely manner), or instead go the traditional Xrd > Xrd#Reload > Xrd/Slash. Something tells me the former would help "cement" Xrd in the FGC, as people would know it as GG: Xrd or just Xrd and not some "subtitle of the month" that divides up the player base (if this was even a problem). I think the #Reload > Slash > AC type release style was a product of the limitations that come with releasing on physical media. That's not really an issue anymore, so I think smaller more frequent releases would be more likely. On the other hand, fighting game fans are used to paying full price for a new game that has small updates, so doing large full releases seems to be more financially advantageous for Arc if they go that route. I'd prefer more frequent smaller releases myself.
Blade Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Really digging Elphelt! Her cuteness isn't overdone like a certain Celica or Marie. Is she a gear? Or is she just another robot of some sort? The original Valentine had a blood type just like a human so... it's hard to say what Valentines are, really... but they aren't Gears in any real sense, but perhaps superior to a Gear?

Seeing as how the Valentines are so similar to Aria, I always figured the Backyard just started making them with space-magic-voodoo after Justice/Aria was sealed there for so long (she left an imprint or something idunno). Kind of like an old mattress that has a human figure worn into it. Although that completely falls apart if Justice was never in the backyard. Where did the Holy Order even seal her? That aside, does anyone have any ideas how Sin will make use of YRCs? Elphelt is pretty obvious what with grenade spacing and gun shenanigans, but Sin just strikes me as a fusion of Ky and Staff-Equipped-Litchi I hope they both have some cool options, because if I've learned anything from the previous Axl discussions, it's that good YRC options correlate to a fun character.
Ragnarok_F4 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 That aside, does anyone have any ideas how Sin will make use of YRCs? Elphelt is pretty obvious what with grenade spacing and gun shenanigans, but Sin just strikes me as a fusion of Ky and Staff-Equipped-Litchi Maybe in his command jump? If that has fixed attacks/movement, you could change those with a YRC I think.
Uncivilized Elk Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 The one thing I like about SF IV is that now they allow you to upgrade to the new version of the game at a fairy reduced price. P4A:U costs full price and makes P4A completely obsolete, which pretty much guaranteed that even if I was into that I would not buy it.
greatfernman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 i wonder if they cant be hit by the explosion if El gets hit. the overcooked grenade explosion? pretty sure they can't. iirc the video with pachi showed el blowing herself up while standing right next to sin.
Seku Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 90% sure you cannot BS while in blockstun. You definitely can't mash while blocking, because 4S+HS will not get you BS. Also some fun stuff:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/sogetsu/misc/diehardgame.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/sogetsu/misc/albertochujoslayer.gif (Alberto also has a cape that functions like Slayer) This might be a little off topic but, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1vr-W2BjPg Skip to 7:38 and watch that Slayer's ending move and then take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6pAdFOUDmw Back on topic! I love how Elphelt is the literal waifu... Looking forward to see Dr.Paradigm in action, I think it would be interesting.
balofo Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 -Not a single chara from the old roster -Dr. Paradigm/Leo possibly playable -Still no playable Raven/That Man This is suffering...
Zedar90 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 What the... If one have a Japanese psn+, one can download and play a demo of xrd between 15 October to 28 October. source
SolxBaiken Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 What the... If one have a Japanese psn+, one can download and play a demo of xrd between 15 October to 28 October. source Time to sign up for that 1-month Q.Q Hmmm, I hope it's not only for the PS4 :s
Layer Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Elphelt definitely looks like she has some fun mechanics. Still not keen on her design, but I main Bullet in BB and her outfit is the dumbest shit. And her's and Sin's theme sound pretty sweet. And I actually just got a one month card for PS+. Hmmm.... -Not a single chara from the old roster -Dr. Paradigm/Leo possibly playable -Still no playable Raven/That Man This is suffering... There's actually 12 people from the old roster!
kosmos badgirl Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 A demo ?, count me in but where can I get a cheap one PS+ month or a 1000 yen prepaid card?. Play-Asia is not an option for me.
Zedar90 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Japan Codes and Nippon Yasan are some stores I have used, now a days I use Solaris but their lowest card are 3000.
kosmos badgirl Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks Zedar90, for 1000 Nippon-Yasan is the best, for the rest, Solaris.
RoBoBOBR Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 SRK states that demo is confirmed only for ps4 so far
